Project:1

Choose any three topologies and develop the models in Simulink.

The project design report should include the following:
1- A Design report to show the reasoning behind your choices of inductance and capacitance levels in your design.
2- The full schematics of your converter including gate drivers, PWM chips, RC circuits, current sensors, voltage sensors, etc…
3- A complete simulation file including all the necessary waveforms and justifying all the chosen components sizing (you have to show the system ability to track the output voltage at different dynamic conditions).
4- The full specs for all the needed components in your circuit.

Solution:

In the above CCM(40 to 50V and 400 to 500V), Boost CCM (20to -30V and 200 to -300V) and sepic (30 -60V and 300 to -600V) are chosen.

Totally 6 topologies are chosen.

Buck Converter:

Buck converter in contious continous mode:

Buck convertor does DC-DC conversion.

Buck converter step down DC voltage. It consists of Inductor, Capacitor and two switches which are transistor and diode.Transistor(moseft or igbt based on application) is a switch that operates with on and off state. ON and OFF states get controlled by the Gate signal.

This is the buck converter used  to convert DC to DC with step down operation.

Below are the waveforms which tells that the MOSFET  is ON and OFF with the PWM signal. Diode is on for a period of time MOSFET  is ON in other period which is shown in the below graphs.

Inductor and capacitor values are taken in such a way that the L and C values are high. As the input voltage range is from 40 to 50 and 400 to 500 in another buck converter.

As per the different input values, the inductor and capacitor values are designed accordingly.

Boost_Converter CCM:

Boost Converter:

The boost converter is the step up DC-DC converter. The output capacitor is the one that filters the pulsating current and allows DC current to flow through the output.

In continous conduction mode, the inductor current flows continously during the operation of the converter.The two semiconductors during the operation of the  converter. The two semi conductors switches in operation are diode and Mosfet which operate with the PWM pulses. MOSFET is a switch whose gate pulses are given by the PWM pulse generator based on the duty requried to the switch.

It is considered that the frequency is considered as 30KHZ.

The schematic of Boost converter is as shown below.

The mathematical expression and calculations in designing the required inductor and Capacitor values.

Simulink file of BOOST converter:

Diode current is ranging upto 20A and MOSFET current is ranging upti 25A.Where the PWM pulses shows the ON and OFF states  of the MOSFET.

5.sepic converter:

SEPIC COnverter:

Sepic converter is the single Ended Primary inductor converter. This is a type of DC-DC converter that operates to allow the electrical output greater than, lessthan, or equal to the input.Output is controlled by the duty cycle of the switch.

Sepic Converter is a boost converter followed by the inverter Buck-Boost Converter.

Vin is 30V to 60V;

Vout is 45V

Power P =1

D/(1-D) = Vout/Vin

So D = 0.6

As there are two inductors in the circuit the inductor _1 L1 is at the voltage input of the circuit and another inverter is at the parallel end.
